Two years into the relationship and it’s great. Most of the time. My partner is prone to low moods. No amount of checking in helps. He wont talk. That is fine. He’s a big boy. I need help to work out how to not follow him into those low moods. I sway between feeling annoyed he wont talk, to feeling as though I’ve done something wrong. How do I avoid the low mood myself?

I go do my own thing and leave him to his miserable self. Mine doesn’t have mental health issues though. I just can’t stand it, it brings me down to the point I will leave if he doesn’t pick is ass up and do something about it.
What is he doing about his low moods? Everyone has a low mood at some point, but most people have steps they take to ensure their low mood doesn’t affect those around them as well as to try and bring themselves out of that low mood. If he’s not going to take those steps for himself, then you have to decide what you are going to do to prevent it impacting on you and your mental health any further. Suggest he speaks to his GP to get a mental health care plan to start with.
